Hey Jake, Hope more ND Firefighters join this group, If you guys get a good call like a fire or extrication, please let me know about it. I am teaching a airbag, hybrid, and extrication recertification class for the next two weekends. We had a call on friday knight of a 1 vehicle rollover with entrapment and the car is on fire right in town. When we got there the guy was standing next to the car and the car was not on fire. That woke me up a 1:am. See ya, Kurt
